Avatar Creation Software?

by Tom Mullaly on November 26, 2004

A colleague of mine is looking to create an avatar of himself for an online course he is teaching. As I’ve never created an avatar before, I was wondering if anybody reading this had any good avatar software suggestions for this purpose. I look forward to the avatar creation software feedback.

I would hope that there is software available that would allow me to make a fairly detailed avatar without it being too difficult to model or be contained in a file that was so large as to be unwieldy. Having said that, I’m betting that there will be huge demand for software that helps you to create realistic online avatars in the near future as more and more of us choose to represent ourselves in various arenas online for one reason or another.
